    Does this come with a WiFi card?
    I am thinking of buying this as well, what is the build quality like, and how long does the 8(?) cell battery last in it?

    Actually, it can take any mini-PCIexpress wireless card, not just the Intel ones.

    Two questions:

    Has anyone confirmed that this motherboard will operate with the new T8100, T8300, T9300, or T9500 processors?
    Secondly, is the card reader capable of reading SDHC cards or only standard SD cards?
